His is better, though.

I believe I claimed Chase first as a Vertical.

Then again, do I really want to drive with you???!?!!!

Or were you offering someone else to drive?

Ha, MdS and I made it successfully to/from D&D. We both drive the same..?

Sure I can take 2, but in your case, I can always strap you to the hood or roof.

I can even take 3, with proper notice. Just not on long trips (as RJ can attest).

We are having the annual passover open house on that Sunday. Shoot me a PM if you want to make the trek out to see the older sisters.

Single? Oh wait, they're your sisters not MichelleShari's!

Bacon?

So no Chocolate covered Bacon?

Edit: Up to 171, IIRC, but the Roditis won't help since I already have it.

Not defunct, just *very* slow in sending out certificates. I sent my thing in July and just got it a few weeks ago. They figured I was being very quick about it since they gave me doppel status immediately. Now I have to live up to it.

Sounds like it depends on the person. Molarchae and I will be bringing a milk dish, so we won't be eating meat. Fish would be fine. Then due to Passover it's anything made with a grain that's no good. The time2testit's are a little more strict. Having said that, there's only so much planning around us that makes sense. If there's chocolate covered bacon, we'll just take some home for post-Passover.

Wait ... I thought grain was ok, but it had to be unleavened (thus Matzos)?

And no choc bacon for you!

Sounds good. I was thinking of an appetizer. No grain does make it interesting though.

OK. If you really want the complicated details, This is from a site I found:

"While many Jews adhere to the same rules for buying Passover foods before and during the holiday, Jewish Law actually draws an important distinction. Certain leniencies are permitted for some foods if they are produced before Passover begins. Still other foods must adhere to the same standard irrespective of when they are produced. The following guidelines, prepared by the Conservative Movement’s Committee on Law and Standards, clarify these possibilities:

PROHIBITED FOODS

Leavened bread, cakes, biscuits, crackers, cereals, coffee ‘‘blends’’, wheat, barley, oats, rice, dry peas, dry beans, and all liquids which contain ingredients or flavors made from grain alcohol or vinegar (other than cider vinegar). For Ashkenazi Jews (which I believe all of us that will be attending are), the tradition is not to eat peas, corn, rice, beans or other legumes, because their flour closely resembles hametz; string beans are permitted.

2. The following foods require no "Kosher for Passover" label if purchased before or during Pesah: Fresh fruits and vegetables (for legumes, see above), eggs, fresh meat and fresh fish, as well as all detergents, cleansers and scouring powders that are certified kosher year-round.

3. The following foods require a "Kosher for Passover" label if purchased before or during Pesah: All baked products (matzah, cakes, matzah flour, farfel, matzah meal and any products containing matzah), canned or bottled fruit juices (which are often clarified with legumes), canned tuna (since tuna, even when packed in water, has often been processed in vegetable broth and/or hydrolyzed protein; however, if it is known that the tuna is packed exclusively in water, without any additional ingredients or additives, it may be purchased without a kosher for Passover label), wine, vinegar, liquor, oils, dried fruits, candy, chocolate milk, ice cream, yogurt, soda."

Fun, right? I guess it's still better than being slaves in Egypt...(and um disregard the reference in the number 3 to a certain grape product)
